Raising Children to be Independent, Responsible, and Jesus Following Adults Someday

I love my children.

They are great! We have lots of fun together… we laugh… we cry… we dance. I cannot imagine my life without them. They are truly a treasure.

However, someday my children will grow up, and God-willing, be independent, responsible, and Jesus following adults. In order to accomplish that goal, we as parents must guide and train them now (when they are in our care) to be independent, responsible, and Jesus following kind of people.

What are you doing today to help your kids be independent?

What are you doing today to teach your children to be responsible?

What are you doing today to train and guide your progeny to love God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength, and to love their neighbor as themselves?
